Keeping Up Appearances: Interview with Patricia Routledge (Hyacinth Bucket) and Clive Swift (Richard Bucket).

The host is Judi Spiers.

For all those interested to know when this interview took place: Patricia Routledge says: We are going to do a Christmas special for 1994 and there is a Christmas special coming out for this year, which we shot glamourously on the QE II and had a wonderful time. So that's this year and then we're doing a Chrismas special for next year...

That means it was recorded somewhere in 1993.

    I am watching this in 2024. I can't believe 30 years has passed after this amazing interview!! I'm obsessed with this sitcom 😃
  • @DevilTravels
    One of those rare shows that you never really get tired of.
  • @macman975
    When Clive said "Richard Bucket" I was expecting Patricia to say "Bouquet dear!"😂
  • @ajj9694
    Hyacinth is such a strong character that most of the attention is on her. But Clive plays the long suffering Richard to perfection. Clive is a wonderful actor.

    I am American and have been watching this show since the 1990s. I've always said to my friends that Patricia is probably the nicest lady in real life and this interview confirmed that. She is pure class. I miss that show.

    I Love Patricia Routledge. She is one of those rare actresses who can do comedy, drama and has a beautiful voice. Her comedic timing is impeccable. This series is classic.

    "I don't like this level of intimacy..." as Hyacinth brushes past Richard in the kitchen. Just perfect.
  • @jusdeorange
    An absolute British classic! I wish they still made shows like this. Patricia Routledge and Clive Swift truly made this show as brilliant as it was, along with Geoffrey Hughes and the rest of the cast
  • This is now 2023 and Keeping up Appearances is still one of the funniest sitcoms ever made.IMO

    I love when they're in the car. 'Watch out for the cow, dear." Richard "The cow is in the field!" Hyacinth "They've been known to jump fences."

    Keeping Up Appearances is still going strong every night in Denmark. I'm 54 years old and absolutely love it. My daughter is 25 and think it's weird how much I love watching. It's hilarious and let's not forget Onslow 😂

    ❗I love them both ! ❤ And miss them ALL desperately. Our family never missed a show.. 2024

    I'm an American and I love 'Keeping Up Appearances!" It was such a cleverly written show, and the acting was superb. The poor put-upon British husband and his overbearing, "Over-proper" Royal aspirant, yet loveable wife, genius!
  • @classanddignity
    Patricia is so gracious, witty, & has wonderful pose. Clive seems genuinely sweet & they both have an emotional chemistry with each other & natural charm together. Love them both!

    My mother died in 1997 and my last memories of her when she was healthy was how much she enjoyed keeping up appearances. It brings back lovely memories of her when I watch it😊
